Re: Ethanol and biodiesel from corn and other crops is not worth the energy

Um, yeah. If there's no way to distribute any "excess" energy produced, then there's absolutely no reason to produce that excess, so of course the farmers would only produce what they need themselves. A natural limit to production, you might say.

The question becomes, if an economically viable means for distribution were put into place, how much more could be produced without straining the farmer's systems?
